There are many types of brake pads to choose from. Some pads are formulated for specific benefits such as low dust, extra
durability or low noise, and as with most things, it’s important that the pads
are well suited to your vehicle.

So how do you know which one is right for you?

If you have specific needs such as budget – please discuss this with your
technician. We will always take your needs into consideration and recommend the
best brake pads to suit your vehicle manufacturers guidelines and your driving
conditions.

At Repco Authorised Service centres we always use top
quality parts to maintain your statutory warranty.

A visual inspection of the brake pads can be done on some
vehicles where the wheels allow you to see them – but many vehicles need to be
put up on a hoist and the wheels removed to be able to see the brake system
clearly.

Most brake pads start around 9 to 12 mm in thickness – there
needs to be a minimum of 3mm of material showing all the way around the pad for
your brakes to be working.

Screeching, squealing or grinding noises when you brake are
also signs your brake pads need replacing.
